ARISTOCAT USES DIFFERENT NAME NEXT DOOR. RECEIVES SECOND DINNER AS “DAVE.”

OCTOBER 6, 2026 / BY THE CAT DISTRICT STREET DESK

At home, he has a title. Next door, he has chicken.

A silver-white long-haired cat with a small gold bow eating from a simple bowl in a neighboring kitchen.

At home, he answers to Lord Peregrine of Ashcombe, provided somebody says it while opening a tin. Next door, he is Dave.

The neighbors describe Dave as a lovely, hungry little chap. They have no idea he has already eaten poached chicken from a monogrammed dish.

Peregrine says the arrangement allows him to experience life without the burden of expectashuns. He finds ordinary people refreshingly generous with gravy.

Asked whether the households should meet, he said there was no need to make this political.

Fiction & satire. These cats and their scandals are invented.
